How long does the deodorizing effect last? I am highly skeptical that it is permanent. For example a musty smelling basement. Example, every 3 weeks?

I would not say the deodorizing effect is permanent, however it does seem to last for at least several weeks. It really depends on how bad the basement smells. Running a dehumidifier to dry out the area seems to strengthen the treatment, but do this BEFORE you run the ozone generator. Be sure to remove the dehumidifier and any other electronics from the area prior to ozone treatment.

We use the generator in a enclosed room for testing nylon parts.My guy's will not go into the room without airing it out as breathing ozone will kill the good stuff in your lungs

I have used this in multiple areas. Most areas seem to be "permanent" however my basemant does need to be done probably every month. Basement lasted a long while then summer humidity + heavy rains, I had to "refresh" the basement. Hope that helps.

I purchased this ozone machine for my hotel. Often odors are created from smoking, cooking (and anything else that may come to mind). This machine does a great job of permananely pulling the odors out (might require longer use in some cases). Deodorize with air freshener afterwards and follow instructions. Good luck.

I only use it once for any room unless something occurs (pet odors, smoking, spills, etc.)

Hi Don, I couldn't put a specific length of time for the longevity of the Redibreeze,but I have customers who have had their Redibreeze for more than 10 years! Something I would like to bring to your attention is our Lifetime guarantee! If at any time during your ownership of an Oral Breeze product, should the workmanship fail, we will replace your unit with a new unit for a small S&H fee! Doesn't get any better than that! Please feel free to contact me if I can answer any further questions. Bets Regards, Janet

-- less than a day or two.. I think - but can't remember the total time..Not long tho..maybe only one dayI know i did use it right away so evidentally odor did not bother me..

I've sprayed it in a cellar and left it for a day. When I brought it back into my closet, I could smell it for perhaps another day. Same using it outdoors...a day or so of residual odor. I don't think the smell is awful, just odd.

I really like this dehumidifier and have it in a semi-basement/music studio. It is really quiet. I turn off the unit when I am using the room and I only put it on when it is damp. I think the smell could be too much for a family room unless you only ran the unit when you were not in the room. Sometimes it has a smell and sometimes it doesn't. I can't really figure out why. I wonder if it were run more continuously if the smell would go away.

The smell does go away. I use this cup sporadically, maybe 1-2 times per week and it went away after maybe 3-4 months. With daily use it will likely be less.

Leave it alone....this product uses enzymes that work afterward, leaving a smell for a day or two if its too badly saturated with urine, but the smell WILL go away after it finishes eating at the "mess" (literally). I have used Nature's Miracle on an apartment I was cleaning that had badly soaked carpets, and the day after, you could barely walk into the house, because the odor of the urine and an "alcohol smell" that is a byproduct of the enzymes doing their work, but after the second day, ALL of the smell was gone, and the carpets looked like new. This stuff works, but people need to know, this is ENZYME based, not chemical or soap based, so it takes TIME to do its job, but it WILL do it, and do it well. Think of enzymes as little critters that live off of urine, blood, and feces, and will eat and eat until they have nothing else to eat. After a couple of days, you can clean the carpets again to get rid of any remaining traces that may be left, but if you don't give this stuff time to do what it does, you are just wasting your money (like the guy that called in the "pros" afterward...all they did was soak up the enzymes that were already doing their job, then probably putting more on there along with some sort of chemical deodorizer that seals the urine into the carpet and padding so you couldn't smell it, which in return, will not allow enzymes or anything else from that point on to remove what urine they sealed in). So...use this stuff, then, LET IT SIT AND DO ITS JOB, even if its for a couple of days, it will work, DO NOT RINSE, after a few days, re-clean the carpet if you like, but don't do it BEFORE ITS DONE WORKING!! The added smell means its doing its job, not that it didn't.

No, not at all the level of ozone produced is only for deodorizing and is safe as long as you don't inhale it directly out of the unit. It smells like a fresh ocean breeze. You can set it to run several schedules. The strongest setting is 30 minutes on every 2 hours. I have had mine on that schedule now for 10 months and it is still going strong.

I left it outside and open for about 3 days. I had the same problem with the smell but I just started using it and after the first day at the beach the smell was gone. Don't ask me why.

Mine had the odor for maybe a couple days but if you use it frequently, the odor goes away. I try to run it with the "COOL" setting off for a few minutes before shutting it down when I am done with it. That seems to work for me as I haven't had any odor from it for weeks.

My opinion on this question is predicated upon how heavily one exercises and therefore respires. My work is physical but by no means results in a level of exertion that rivals a jogger's. Therefore, even after a 6-8 hr. day of usage, the filters do not appear to be heavily saturated. My guess here is that moisture would evaporate leaving behind particulate trapped and held by the filter. I would also assume that there would be an impediment of the air flow given that you are pulling air through the filter thus reducing the free flow experienced without a filter. Lastly, it may be that the user simply replaces the filters a bit more frequently based upon level of use.

There is a silver probe inside the unit that removes the odors which last about 3 years at 3-5 loads per week. The UV bulbs last about 10 years.

If your basement's temperature is constant and it's dry in there, you can store the product for about 12 months. Kind regards !

Had mine for about a month now, and no one notices to smell, I can't give a number because I really don't remember how much times I've used this, I hope that helps

Per my experience this particular deodorizer took a few days in order for me to notice..but it did work

It does dissipate after a short while. Not long till it's odor free. I didn't find the smell as offensive as some. I'd buy it again.

Hi, Susan, it's SUPPOSED to "age" for 24 hours, but I think that's just so the smell goes away. It was dry to the touch in a couple hours. And that was with two coats of spray.
